ALEXANDRIA. VA

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper u.
the State, and with few exceptions the Old
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated.and appreciated during
tho EIGHrY.sEvEN YEARS Gifts existence. In.
its columns has always been found mirror
Of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. 1t is Away
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable
The GAZETTE has better facilities ior Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside OF the
national capital Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, It enjoys daily
the benefit OF the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from lis columns in the
evening what has transpred that day in
every portion Of our own domain as well rs
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market reports iron,
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and othe.
centres.
The local department furnishes a full ana
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature win,
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich.
mond and every section of theState, is pub.
lshed regularly, and all events Of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Com
monwealth are to he found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily il
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing That this is seif-evident may be infer
red from the fact that a large country edi-
as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three tines
a week, and is read by thousands, most of
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of adj
7ertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, APP
iarent.

You'll see plenty of ladies'
suits this season made entirely
OF the all wool or the silk-and-
wool checks and plaids. Paris
has said it. That would be
enough to fix the fashion if the
effect were ugly; but it isn't.
The check and plaid makers
have Outdone themselves.
Such blending of color, such
novelties of weave, such bril-
liant and pleasing combinations
were never before seen in
goods of this kind. A few big
Plaids, very big, but by a trick
OF weave or coloring they lose
the staring boldness of bare
blgness. There's high art in
every pattern, and the patterns
are by scores, each in a dozen
or more colors. They say that
nowhere else in the United
States can such a gathering of
wool or silk-and-wool plaids
and checks be found. Mostly
42 inches wide; IS cents to
$3.50 yard.
